Why I relate to Remi's story:

I relate to Remi's story as I have tried to help many of my friends during their mental breakdowns or vents. Like Remi, I noticed that a few of my friends started to act a bit more different or looked a bit more sad at school. This was until I realised that something was going on with them that was hurting them. I tried my best to stay out of their private, personal matters while still trying to comfort them. I don't know if my actions and words of comfort will help them or not but, I'm just glad that they trust me as a good and caring friend to vent or rant out to.

Coca Cola advertisement

1. The model girl catches my eye as she looks really pretty

2. A coca cola bottle is being advertised as something that tastes really good

3. The message being sent out is to drink coca cola as it tastes really good

4. This is not a realistic image of an individual as, the girl has extremely toned arms, her skin is very clear and her hair is styled perfectly

5. Yes, the image has been photoshopped. I can tell by the way the girl's body looks like. Her legs and arms are a beautiful golden tan and her face is extra defined.

Activity 3: Music

Song chosen: Letter to my 13 year old self, by Laufey

"Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair"

and

"You'll grow up
And grow so confident, and
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful"

I chose this song as I like and it resembles to me.

The positive message is to not worry about what others think and what others have that you don't have as, you are beautiful just the way you are. "You'll grow up
And grow so confident, and
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful"

This song contradicts the coke lady advertisement as the song talks about being who you really are whereas, the coke lady tries to fit in the beauty standards.

Case study

Ahn is a friend of yours at school; you don’t really hang out with him every day, but he is in a few of your classes. Lately he hasn’t been himself and you cant really figure out what it is.

He just looks sad all the

time. No one else seems to

notice and he seems to be spending more and more time at school by himself. He has been telling everyone that

he goes to the music room at lunchtime to practise, but you saw him behind the sports storeroom, sitting alone.

You feel concerned for him and decide to see what is wrong. You sit down with him and he tells you that his

brain feels all ‘fuzzy’ and he cant concentrate, he thinks he is going to fail all his subjects, and he is really worried.

What would you do immediately?

I would try to make him laugh or make him know that I'll be there for him.

What do you do in the next few days?

For the next few days, I would hangout with him and try to become closer.

Who might be able to help Ahn? What could they do?

A trusted teacher might be able to help Ahn. They could help him become more confident within himself and possibly make new great friends!
